Colin Campbell | Finding the Words
Manage episode 362819986 series 2804231
My guest, Colin Campbell is a writer and director for theater and film. He’s also written a truly powerful and personal exploration of grief, in his book, Finding The Words. In our conversation today, Colin shares his experience of losing both his children, Ruby and Hart when a drunk driver hit their car and changed a pleasant family outing into the worst day imaginable. He addresses the fear, pain, denial, guilt, rage, despair, and isolation that accompanies grief. You will also hear us explore the profound power of rituals and the impact of our words as we move forward with grief.
I absolutely devoured his book and delighted in our conversation. He offers so much wisdom about how we keep living when the worst happens to us. I truly can't wait for you to meet him.

At the time of our conversation, he was speaking to me from New York as he was wrapping up performances of his creative response to loss called Grief: A One-Man Shitshow
JUMP STRAIGHT INTO:
(20:00) Colin explains that even though he considers himself an Atheist, he’s found so much help and healing in rituals. He has leaned on Jewish traditions, but her reminds us all that rituals don’t have to be related to organized religion to be beneficial in our grieving.
(43:00) Colin explains how and why he found the word Solace versus Healing, resonates more deeply for him as he moves forward with his grief. Like me, he focuses on the impact of our word choices and explains why healing doesn’t fit the mark for his experience of grief, nor his goals for his future.
